On March 6th, 2008 at Chicago’s Park West (a classy, intimate performance space - it has a capacity of around 750) Missy Higgins gave a brilliantly moving performance to a sold out crowd of exuberant fans. Almost exactly one year later, Higgins is back in Chicago for another show, this time at a venue almost twice as large: The Vic […]

“Louis C.K. Chewed Up” was filmed at the Berkley Performance Center in Boston, Massachusetts last March and eventually released by Image Entertainment. Instead of opening with the obligatory salute to the location and the audience, the show opens up with how he misses the word “faggot” and how he used it as a kid and […]

Juicy Campus is Leaving the Building!
Well, good news travels fast I must say. I just caught word over on facebook that the college site Juicy Campus will be shutting down in the near future. They are taking the site down and leaving cyberspace and for good lets hope. I, for one, am rejoicing.
This is the […]

As I get older my views on technology have changed, I used to really enjoy exotic gizmos, a watch that had a calculator (which I never used, because the buttons were small) was a prized possession in the 70’s. In the 80’s I traveled a lot by air, I bought a watch with an altimeter […]

Despite the grip of winter on much of the nation, or maybe because of it, one can’t help but plan projects for the warmer weather to come. A slew of do it yourself design and home improvement books have hit the new arrival’s self at my local library the last couple of weeks. “Trellises & […]

I just finished reading this article and my mouth is still hanging open. Something worse than predators is a greater harm to kids? Well, I should have known. Bullying and Peer Abuse are the root of all evil in my opinion. So, why should this article surprise me? I guess because we are so focused […]

Every landmark writer has a voice.  It first appears to the reader as a series of words upon the page, but there is much more to it.  It’s not just a trail of ink splotches upon leaves of paper.   It’s the sum of a great many parts.  Sometimes it resounds from the reek of old […]

Who doesn’t like Hannah Montana?  I’m sure that all the pedophiles in our world enjoy the show, much like in Married With Children when Kelly Bundy is on that kid’s show and the male viewership went through the roof.  I didn’t like Billy Ray Cyrus back when he was a real musician and I certainly […]

Who doesn’t love High School Musical?  I love Ashley Tisdale, that much is for certain.  I don’t like real high school musicals, but I don’t really like musicals that much to begin with.  Nonetheless, this series has become a virtual juggernaut and is all over the place.  People know the songs, they care about a […]

One of the items that did not get packed on our move from Calgary to Mississippi was ashtrays, well I am not allowed to smoke in the house, so my ashtrays consisted of a rusty coffee canister, and an even rustier Hibachi Grill. On a side note, a Hibachi can hold a pile of butts! […]

I actually reviewed the NEO some time ago. For those of you not familiar with this ‘gizmo’ it is a highly portable word processor that runs forever on 3 AAA batteries. It has a full sized keyboard, and a small screen that shows 6 lines of text,
This may not sound very elegant to you high […]

I was doing some internet research the other day and ended up being directed to an older ex-Hollywood writer of some acclaim, a chap named John Boni. He writes a modest blog, likely visited by very few people, and it leans Conservative on several issues he writes about. As often happens, the article I had […]

Hey all…
Sometimes I get the opportunity to review games slightly before they are released. Not often, but I’m very happy when it happens. The Princess Bride Game is based, of course, on the classic book and movie The Princess Bride. The book was written by William Goldman in 1973 and Rob Reiner turned it into […]

I have been reading that the Muslims are cursing the knight hood given to Salman Rushdie by Queen Elizabeth. There are ways to look at these honors   and reach a conclusion. It is also a parameter to judge the jury who choose Rushdie for this honor. Let us see some reasons why Rushdie deserved this honor.
From Muslims’ Perspective: The […]

Sonoro is a German based company, and their figurehead product is the Cubo. What is is, I hear you say? Umm it’s an Alarm Clock/Radio I answer. But it is not like anything you currently have in your bedroom. This thing is amazing. The sound quality is so good that right now we are using […]

I have been previewing The Sundance Channel series Big Ideas For A Small Planet for two years. It is a great series, eco caring companies and individuals making a difference in our petroleum centric world. We spend so much time wrecking our planet, and for the most part we totally ignore the damage we inflict. […]

One of the fun things about being a reviewer is that you never know what to expect next. I was somewhat surprised when a company asked me if I would review an Alarm Clock Radio. Now don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against Alarm Clock Radio’s and have used one for many years, but […]

I like the Nintendo Wii, I really do.  It’s a fun system that doesn’t take a whole ton of gamer strategy, thumb agility and appeals to a wider audience than the typical Play Station or X-box gamer.   That being said, my mind can’t always get out of the box and understand how you can play […]

The technology industry never fails to amaze me. On a daily basis I read articles about new products and the functionality being built into todays ‘gizmos’ is absolutely mind boggling. And the new Portable Media Player from Irvine California based IOGEAR is right up there with the best of them.

I generally like the stuff that Adobe puts out, the price is right, well at least at the ‘free’ end, but is outrageous at the ‘pay’ end of the scale. The media player business has been a hard fought battle for years. Microsoft has Media Player, and there is WinAmp, and RealPlayer, it is a […]

As reported by powerhouse engines like Google and Yahoo, social networking is the monarch of the Internet. Sites like MySpace, Facebook, Hi5, Perfspot, and others clearly dominated 2007’s search terms. Now the trend of niche social networking/interaction sites—MySpace for select markets, if you will—is on the rise. A shining example is SoccerFlow.com, giving fans of […]
